On a roll

I had a hankering to make some kid's clothes and boy, did I feed that urge! Of course, this was already cut up in pieces on the craft table. I had been procrastinating early in the week. It's an A-line linen smock for a little girl who lives here.

Her mummy and I are doing some side-swapping......to which I had to kick my proverbial arse in motion after I snuck a peek of the bub's cardi-to-be on her blog (I'm super excited about this swap!). Here's the back with the loop closure.

The geezer had a friday night out with the boys, which is the perfect opportunity for some inane teevee to go with lots of hand-sewing.

I love this vintage button! And I'm so happy its going to get a new lease on its life.

And of course, along with the red linen, some cute japanese red riding hood fabric with polka dots. I love this fabric, too. Good thing there's still half a metre left in the stash.

Thanks so much, bloggy peeps, for the owl zipper pouch love! I'll round off replying to the rest of the emails tonight. We're off to another kid's birthday party (whatever happened to cocktail parties?!) for the rest of the afternoon.

How fun to be doing that swap Jade! I just had a peek at the cardi -- it's beautiful. And your half of the deal is sah-weet too! Love the linen AND the japanese fabric. And you've become mighty skilled wielding that camera -- your pics are beautiful!

That dress is gorgeous!!! I love the riding hood fabric... You're just so clever Jade... I hope you don't mind if I ask you a quick sewing question.... I was wondering how you get youre bias to sit so neatly around the neck line??? Do you hand sew it down???

Flogging my stuff

About Me

I was originally tinkering with the idea of a six-month sabbatical (holiday), due to having the bub. Six months became a year...and now we're coming up to two years. Well, I gotta have something to occupy myself. So I blog and I craft and I look after the bub, not necessarily in that order.
